for me a repeater means repeat, while there he repeated in another network. So if you have a material that does not have the parameters of both networks save it loses the connection. In addition in case of power (or power failure) the wifi of the box, the repeater does not work, you must restart the Very disappointed netgear and summarize them that make you believe in something when it does not have the case. This is the second time DECOI netgear and I think no longer want to work with their brand
